Why were citizenship and duty both given importance in France after the Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because the nation needed citizens with rights and responsibilities
Citizenship in a civic nation includes both entitlements and responsibilities. Revolutionary France presented citizens as bearers of rights, but also expected them to obey common laws, defend the nation and participate in public life. Thus, duty made citizenship active rather than merely personal. Options B, C and D contradict the revolutionary emphasis on citizens and public responsibility.
